Solution

The correct option is C Epithelial tissue
  • Epithelial tissues are widespread throughout the body. They form the covering of all body surfaces, line body cavities and hollow organs, and are the major tissue in glands.
  • Epithelial cells may be squamous, cuboidal, or columnar in shape and may be arranged in single or multiple layers. Hence, Epithelial tissue protects the inner and outer surfaces of the body and is made up of tightly packed cells.
So, the correct answer is 'Epithelial tissue'.
